However, 14.5 percent of all new listings were in foreclosure, compared to 19.6 percent of all closed sales. The market share of closed foreclosure sales is down from 24.1 percent at this time last year, but the market share of foreclosed new listings is up from 10.0 percent last year. The pace at which foreclosed properties enter the market is worth keeping an eye on. Prices are beginning to rise; they've increased for the past four consecutive quarters. The overall median sales price was up 6.3 percent, marking the largest year-over-year gain since Q1-2010. Even so, foreclosures yield an average of 86.8 percent of list price while traditional homes yield 91.3 percent. Slowly but surely, recovery marches onward.

Explanation of Methodology To provide a detailed look at the foreclosure phenomenon and its effect on our local housing market, we have harnessed the data available in the Broker Listing Cooperative® (BLC®). Whenever the field called Disclosure is listed as "Foreclosure," "Bank Owned" or "HUD-Owned" we have separated that property from those that do not contain these markers. This gives us the ability to view the housing market as two distinct segments: foreclosure and traditional. The following pages dig into foreclosure and traditional trends with greater detail.
